Cervical cancer (CC) is a gynecological cancer, which has become the second malignant tumor with mortality in developing countries. The purpose of current study was to explore the influence of Circular RNA 0001823 (circ_0001823) in the CC development. Thirty CC tissues and paracancerous tissues were obtained, and Hela and CaSki CC cells were purchased for this study. The cell growth was analyzed by CCK-8 and colony formation assays. The cell metastasis was determined with Transwell assay. The circ_0001823, miR-613, and RAB8A expression were analyzed with qRT-PCR analysis. The specific mechanisms of circRNA_0001823 were analyzed by Dual luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. The circ_0001823 and RAB8A expressions were increased, and miR-613 were decreased in the CC cells and tissues. Knockdown of circ_0001823 inhibited the malignant behavior of the CC cells, which was antagonized by miR-613 inhibitor. Over-expressed RAB8A reversed the miR-613 effects in the CC cells. Knockdown of circ_0001823 inhibited the malignant behaviors of the CC cells via regulating the miR-613/RAB8A axis.
